Dynamite for Pile-Oriving.

A German engineer appears to have
been the pioneer in the use OF dynamite
for driving piles. According to this
method circular cast-iron plate fifteen
inches i'm diameter and three and three
fourths inches thick is fixed on the pile
TO be driven in q perfectly horizontal
position. This being done. dynamite

exploded by electricity. It is stated
that the depth to which the pile is driven
nv each explosion is equal to five blows

As II is found that q cast-irOn plate u

twenty-five explosions. the practical
value of this method may be readily

HEALTH ANC HOME


A Clear Dennlti0n Of the ALI lmp0rtans
Duties of Motherhood.
Health and Home. What world OF
meaning lies hidden in these two words!
Reversing them. we place the founda-
ton beneath, and then place upon it
the superstructure or castle. wherein
dwells earth's choicest blessings, home
and health. Mothers, do you realize
the greatness Of the vast empires over
which you reign as queens? Do you
realize that from your respective do
mains go forth the statesman. the ora
tor, the philanthropist. the explorer.
the astronomer. the missionary. and.
too. the demagogue. the bloodthirsty
warrior. the scheming politician. the
votary of folly and fashion. the de-
faulter, the murderer. and all the higher
and lower grades of humanity-all at
the same time pass through the cruel
BILE of home, of which you are the con-
trolling power? Truly you occupy hon
orary places in the galaxy of earthly
sovereigns. But do you realize in what
degree the health. or the sickness OF
the world may be laid to your charge?
II the infant constitution. mind as well
as body. be duly attended to. the result
will surely be shown in all the
coming years. Give the little ones
plenty of fresh air. wholesome food. all
the exercise their young hearts desire.
with bodies untrammeled by tight bands
or belts. Let every muscle have free.
full play at all times. Do not dress your
children 50 tight that it is relief. like
opening prison door. to undress them
for the night. We know by early ex-
perience what that is, for we have felt
it, and all through our life have felt its
effects. The cost is far too great, for
the reward which it brings is only
vanity. Give the little ones wholesome
food. plenty lit, and at regular periods.
Disobey these rules, then disease will
be engendered and resort had to all the
poisonous nostrums Of the day. which
serve only to allay the uneasiness for
the time being. and leave their direful
effects in the tender system, to be mani
tested in some other way in the coming
years. Keep the blood pure. not by
lotions. soaps and powder. but by air.
exercise. proper food and drink. Venti-
late your sleeping rs well as your living
rooms. Let in pure air. and. if at all
practicable, let the sun every day pcne-
trate every article Of bedding and cloth
ing. It is astonishing to read what a
great difference in the per cent Of
mortality there is in large cities on
different sides Of the same street, owing
entirely to the different degrees Of ex-
posurc to the sun. Let the little ones
think for themselves. Let them ask
ever so many questions. Do not bluff
them of in either anger or impotence.
Endeavor early to subdue and correct
every semblance Of discrimination, re-
venge, hatred. and passion. Observa-
ton teaches US that children are just
what they are made. and the rule is
that ..just as the twig is bent the trees
inclined" Then how all-important is
it that the tender. precious little twigu
have all their faculties bent in the right
direcai0n. 4a06sisa.
